Hello, and welcome!
My name is Manisha, and I’m a piano teacher and performer based in Vancouver. I offer private piano lessons for children, teens, and adults; from complete beginners to advanced students. Whether you are just starting out or looking to deepen your skills, I’d be delighted to help you grow musically in a supportive, inspiring environment.
Teaching piano is not just my profession, it’s my passion. With nearly a decade of teaching experience and a background in performance, I’m here to help you or your child build confidence, develop solid technique, and express music with joy and personality.
My Approach
In my studio, I combine the technical foundation of the Russian piano school with the expressive traditions of European music. For students pursuing a structured path, I incorporate the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) curriculum and prepare students for exams, including levels up to ARCT.
Every student is unique, and lessons are tailored to fit each individual’s goals, learning style, and pace. My teaching balances structure and creativity, always with the goal of making piano study meaningful and enjoyable.
Why Study With Me?
I’ve helped many students build a strong foundation in technique, musicality, and confidence. I take pride in nurturing each student’s unique potential and watching them grow, both musically and personally.
I am patient, supportive, and passionate about my job and I find true joy in the progress and achievements of my students.
Whether your goal is to play for fun, prepare for exams, or perform, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
